Prince William

The Prince William County Historic Preservation is once again offering our Annual History Lecture Series at the Old Manassas Courthouse located at 9248 Lee Avenue, in Manassas on the 4th Thursday of each month beginning in January through April.  The lectures will be held in the upstairs ballroom at 7:00 p.m. and are free to the public.  Donations will be thankfully accepted.

The first lecture of this season will be on Thursday, January 25th and will use one of Virginias most colorful Civil War heroes John S. Mosby and his command as the topic In 1863, John S. Mosby formed a command of Partisan Rangers with the blessing of Generals R.E. Lee & J.E.B. Stuart.  Author and speaker Eric W. Buckland will lead us as we explore some of these men who attended Virginia Military Institute.  Lt. Col. Buckland has offered to research men of the command who hailed from Prince William County as well.  Copies of Buckland’s book “Mosby’s Keydet Rangers” will be available for purchase.
